Quicker access to doctor’s appointments
On average, patients with private health insurance get their appointments quicker. According to studies and surveys, patients with public health care have to wait several weeks for an appointment, while those with private health insurance will be prioritised and get appointments within a few days.
Better access to specialists
Whether it's a preventive check-up or acute treatment – as a private patient, you have quicker access to specialists. If you want, you can also get treated by the chief physician in hospital. Your coverage will remain the same – in contrast to public health care, where it might be reduced to avoid rising costs.
Dental, vision and hearing treatment
With private health insurance, you don't have to worry about how much dental treatments or hearing or vision aids will cost. You can choose to include glasses, hearing aids and extensive dental treatment to be covered – and you’re guaranteed to receive them. This isn’t the case with public health insurance.
Access to top-notch preventative medicine
With private health insurance, you can count on receiving high-quality, personalised healthcare. You’ll get easier and quicker access to appointments for regular check-ups, too. It's also worthwhile because you'll be reimbursed at the end of the year if you've rarely been ill or filed claims.
